Marine Science Research (TAG)

Marine science researchers concentrate on physical, chemical, and geological sciences aspects of marine, estuarine, and coastal environments. A survey of recent TAMUG marine science graduates who entered a professional career shows that many of them are currently working in the offshore petroleum exploration and production industry. A tentative schedule for this course includes: careers in marine science, wetlands transects, water & sediment sampling, the pros and cons of artificial reefs, offshore petroleum exploration, remote sensing technology, density dynamics, and environmental law. Students will also design an original research project and presentation.
